My Fascination With Doors Continues into the year 2023

Doors Are Windows

 Of A Home's Soul 

Finding beautiful doors in Paris (in the rain).  My friend took this photo of me approaching my favorite pale blue door

 It seems that each year heading into the new year, I've started a post about doors.  There's just something I keep coming back to.  Each time I travel, I take at least a few hours to study the architecture and of course the doors, which forget about windows, doors are like the soul of a home.  You learn a lot about a home by the detailing, color, knockers and style of a door.  So, let's get with some door beauties...

I sleuthed out decorator and award-winning writer, Edith Wharton's home away from home while she lived in Paris. During her lifetime as a born and raised New Yorker, she did live in Paris for a few years, and this was her home, and look at the gorgeous prussian-blue-green door- that color haunts me (in a good way)

Red is a powerful color for a door and many believe 

it brings fortune to a home

yellow doors always surprise me and although that wouldn't be a color I'd choose, they are striking.

a rich, historic door in Venice as the Countess greets us at her villa, welcoming us in for a tour- the patina'd wood and incredible knocker (close up below) was a glimpse of what was inside.
